I was just watching the Italian Job - great movie by the way - and I spotted a red MX3 in one of the scenes. I just had to share it! But the weird thing is this MX has two tail lights on the bumper (I think they may be turning lights), check it out:

okay....2 things.
1. you have eyes like a hawk to have even spotted that
2. I think they are reverse lights. If you look at the brake lights it appears the OEM reverse lights are missing, and the ones on the bumper were added....wierd.
back to #1. great find.
It's like a Wheres Waldo scene.

Almost looks like they put in the reverse lights similar to the eclipse. Never seen that on an MX before. But if it's done right I dont see why it wouldnt look to bad.

hm its like they put fog lights there so you can blind tailgaters whenever you want at will.

There's a red one near the end of a Mel Gibson movie....damn if my mind isn't totally blank as to the title.....it's one of his last ones. He and some..... RANSOM!!!!!!!!!! I knew it would come to me. Mel and the bad guy are beating the **** outa each other and there's a red MX3 parked right where they're duking it out.
